Heavy Weather


If you're fortunate to stay long enough, a Wyoming storm is not to be missed!  (Opinions vary.)

Moran Morning


Mt. Moran from Oxbow Bend, one of the most-photographed views in the world, I do believe.  At least, whenever I've been here there have been tourists of all nationalities.

Happy Feet : )

Lift My Eyes to the Hills

Teton Sky


Mt. Moran in Grand Teton National Park.  It don't get any better than this, to quote an old commercial.

Dumb Animal. And I Don't Mean the Elk.


Park rangers will tell you to keep your distance, for the wildlife's safety and yours.  I was hoping for some tourist-stompin' mayhem, but unfortunately this elk turned out to be a pacifist.

Canyon Cataract


Yellowstone National Park has some of the most jaw-dropping scenery anywhere.  I can't describe it.  You'll just have to see it for yourself.

Oasis


Gem-green valleys in Montana and Wyoming owe their lushness to irrigation.

Top of the World


 . . . or at least the Rockies, at Logan Pass on Going To The Sun Road.

Wood and Lace


Glacier National Park is on the border of Montana and Canada.  The spine of the Rocky Mountains is preserved in the park wilderness, but you can cross it (weather permitting) on the Going To The Sun Road.  An apt name for the feeling you're winding right up to Heaven.
